Representation ID: 24682

Received: 23/03/2021

Respondent: John Balderstone

Representation Summary:

•The site is an area of natural beauty with trees animals and plants in abundance.
•The land is backing onto an already high density housing estates.
•Access can only be achieved by knocking down a house in a row of houses causing noise and disturbance to bed rooms in each of the houses that are adjacent to the property which is proposed to be demolished.
•The development access can only be via Woodlands drive which is a route taken by Salts School pupils walking to and from school and would be a major safety issue as the roads are blind onto Lucy Hall Drive.
•There are no sewage or infra structure currently which would serve the development.
•The plan says 5 houses but submissions have been made for 20 houses?
•The houses built will not be affordable housing.

This development would not be in accordance with Bradford's position of building on Brownfield sites and would be totally against the target of getting to carbon neutral by cutting down so many wonderful trees.

We cannot continue to spoil our countryside when it is clear that the alternative options have not been sufficiently considered.
